STEAM-CULINARY APPARATUS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it may concern Be'it known that I, CLINTON I. PAINE, ofYoung America, in the countyof Warren, and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Cooking bySteam; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the construction and operation of the same,reference being had to the'accmnpanying drawiugs, making a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view on the plane of the line a: 2:,fig. l.

Figure 3 is a side elevation.

Figure 4 is a cross-section of the vertical tubular heater or boiler.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall of thefigures.

The nature of this invention relates to an apparatus for cooking bysteam, portable and convenient for private families; and

The invention consists in a suitable frame, supporting a tubular boilerin a vertical position, on top of which is a cap-boiler, extending outover the vertical boiler, and having pipes extending from it, andconnecting with the'tnbular boiler, near its lower end, the heated waterascending from the tubular boiler,

ing in said pipes. A slide is connected with the frame,

slid directly under the boiler.

The invention also consists in pipes, leading from the top of thecap-boiler, and. connecting, the one with any suitable cooking-box, amlthe other with a hinged plate, for receiving cofl'ce-boiler, fruit-cans,&c.

To enable others to understand the construction and operation of myinvention, I will proceed to de scribe it, with reference to thedrawings.

A is a vertical boiler, with tubes, P, extending through it. I

A is a pipe, connecting the boiler A with a capboiler, B.

C is a small cap, screwed on a spout, where the water may be replenishedin the boiler A.

J J are pipes, leading from the lower part of the cap-boiler B to thelower part of the vertical boiler A.

E is a slide, running on the pieces D of the supporting-frame, andcarrying the oil-box F and lamps H, the lamps H H coming immediatelyunder the pipes or tubes 1 P.

Heat being applied by means of the lamps H H, or

their equivalents, the heated water and steam will asoend through thecentral and heated partof the boiler, to the upper surface of thecap-boiler B, whilst the water in the exposed pipesJ J, being colderandheavier, will descend, and an action of this kind be established,sending the steam and hotter water to the surface, while the colderwater is carried down the pipes J J, and brought in contact with thelower end of the pipes P P, to be heated and propelled upward along theheated tube'sP P. I I

.1 represents a cooking-box, which may be arranged with suitablecompartments for holding flesh, vegetables, 850., and is supported onthe frame D.

N is a pipe, leading from the upper part of capboiler B, to this box I,and passes the steam from the boiler to the box, for the purpose ofcooking articles contained therein. I

L is a metal plate, hinged at L to the frame D and boiler A, in a mannerto admit swinging a' ound.

N is a pipe, conducting steam from the upper part of the boilcrB to anyvessel placed on the plate L,

the pipe N passing, as shown at fig. 2, to near the bottom of thecofi'ee-pot-M, or other vessel, in which condition water may be boiledin a fewv minutes, the plate L, being swung around while the vessel M isplaced in position, and then brought back and under the vessel L, tohold it in place.

The construction of my boilers is such, in connection with thearrangement of pipesJ J, as to furnish a great amount of steam with acomparatively small amount of heat, and the arrangement of the pipes NN, and box I, and plate L, is such as to furnish convenient, simple, andcheap means of using said steam for cookingjnn'poses.

What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The arrangement of the boiler A, tubes P P, pipes J J, cap-boiler B,and lamps H H, substantially as described, and for the purpose setforth.

2. The combination of the pipes N N, box I, and vessel M, with thecap-boiler B, tubular boiler A, and pipes J J substantially as describedand for the purpose set forth.

3. The plate L, combined with frame D, boiler A, and pipe N,substantially as described and for the pur dose. set forth.

Signed at Galesburg, Illinois, this 26th day of July,

CLINTON I. PAINE. Witnesses: W. A. Dames, P. R. RICHARDS.
